ChristmasRomance

In the picturesque town of Winter Grove, the tenacious Alicia Whittaker faces off against her best friend's snobbish brother, Zeke Brighton, when his disapproval of his sister's boyfriend threatens to upend their Christmas.

--

Tenacious college student Alicia Whittaker wants this Christmas to be the best, especially since it's her last holiday season with her best friend Celeste in Winter Grove. But Celeste's domineering older brother threatens their happy holiday plans when he vocally disapproves of Celeste's beloved boyfriend, Sterling. Unwilling to sit by and let him ruin their Christmas, Alicia is determined to change Celeste's brother's mind... and heart.

Discerning and domineering, Zeke Brighton only wants the best--for himself, his family, and his baby sister Celeste. But when he's introduced to Celeste's new beau, Sterling, Zeke is far from impressed. He believes his brilliant little sister is wasting her potential with a low-class bartender, and he is determined to open her eyes. He won't let anyone get in his way... certainly not his sister's charming best friend.

--

This is book 2 of the Winter Grove Christmas Series, though it can be read as a standalone.

Only his mischievous younger brother, Kai, knows the truth. When Christian leaves for college at 18, their lives drift apart, with him returning home only for the holidays.

Meanwhile, Christian's lingering glances and flirtations spark old flames, despite his fiancée's presence. As emotions spiral and tensions rise, Evelyn finds herself caught in a dangerous love triangle, torn between two brothers-one who's always held her heart and another who might finally show her what true love feels like.

Reindeer Crossing by ChristmasRomance

Catching a glimpse of a legendary all-white reindeer is supposed to bring good luck. Not for Georgia Greene. As Georgia makes her way home for Christmas, a white reindeer dashes across the road in front of her, causing her to crash her car into a ditch. With her car stuck and a storm blowing in, Georgia is forced to hole up at a remote Christmas tree farm with the help of its kindly owner, Sue. Though Sue tells Georgia stories about how seeing the white reindeer is a lucky event, Georgia is skeptical. She doesn't feel very lucky. Not only is she stranded and snowed in, but she's also stuck in the presence of Sue's surly son, Felix Nissen. But despite her distaste for the holidays, Georgia has to admit there's something special about the Christmas tree farm--almost magical. Maybe the reindeer brought her more than luck... Maybe it brought her right where she needed to be. --- This was my winning NaNoWriMo project for 2021! I took it down to edit it after the holiday season, but now it's coming back with more chapters!

My Best Friend's Gorgeous Boyfriend (18+) by myauraismoonstone

"Care to play?" I asked, dangling a pair of handcuffs from my finger. He arched a brow at me as I fastened one of the rings around his wrist and threaded the toy through a slat in his headboard. "Just say no, and we can stop all of this right now," I continued. But he didn't. Instead, he raked his gaze over my body with an unbridled hungry desire. He had never stared at me so fervently before, but it was everything I had yearned for and instantly made me wet for him. As I locked up his other hand, I pouted at him. "This is the punishment you get for making me want you," I purred. Then straddling his hips, I slid my hand inside my panties and began touching myself. "Mm, that feels so good," I sighed, stroking my fingers around. Glancing up, I found him intently watching me, an expression of dark arousal upon his face. He bit his lip, and I could feel his excitement growing beneath me as he writhed against his restraint. It was all the confirmation I needed that he was finally mine to do with exactly as I pleased. And I was never one to shy away from a steamy fun time. Best friends aren't supposed to keep secrets from one another but that's exactly what childhood pals, Addison Miller and Vanessa Adams find themselves doing. Vanessa has been carrying around a bombshell that when revealed, threatens to forever change the dynamic that she's built with her boyfriend, Matt Jones and her best friend. But is Addison any less to blame for her own actions? In this game of secrets, who is the real victim? Matt is headed in a downward spiral but when he learns of his girlfriend's revelation, it just might be the thing that finally breaks him. Vanessa's brother, Jake, finally finds love in this enemies to lovers trope. Season Two of My Brother's Sexy Best Friend (Forbidden Love Series) *any sexual themes depicted in this book take place between consenting adults aged 18 and over.
